IMPROVEMENT IN SUSPENSION RINGS AN'D HOOK S.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 215,340, dated May 13,1879; application filed February 4, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC FINE, of the city and county of Philadelphia,and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement inSuspension Rings or Hooks, which improvement is fully set forth in thefollowing specification and. accompanying drawings, in which- Figures 1and 2 are face views of the ring embodying my invention. Fig. 3 is aside View thereof. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are views illustrating theapplication and operation of the ring.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

My invention relates to a device for suspending or, hanging pamphlets,cards, 8m; and consists of a metallic ring, to be fitted on a nail, orotherwise secured, and a loop, from which the pamphlet is suspended,said loop being turned up from the body of the ring and having a lockingend, the construction being such that the ring portion is unobstructedfor the reception of the nail, pin, 850. The pamphlet cannot disengageitself from the loop, and the entire device may be folded within theconfines of the pamphlet.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a ring formed of a piece ofwire, from the body of which is turned up a loop, B, occupying aposition near one portion or length of the ring, with an interveningspace. The end of the loop is bent laterally, as at a, so as to approachthe ring and close the adjacent intervening space.

The operation is as follows: The loop B is inserted in an opening in thecorner, or else where, of the pamphlet, card, &o., so that the pamphlethangs on the bottom bend of the loop. The ring A stands uppermost, andis unobstructed, whereby it may be fitted on a nail, pin, or otherwisesecured, and thus suspend the pamphlet, as in Fig. 4.

When the pamphlet is taken down the ring remains connected thereto, asthe end a of the loop forms, in a measure, a lock for said end, wherebythe pamphlet is prevented from slipping off the loop. The ring A, thoughswung around, may again be suspended by i simply hooking it over thehead of the nail, the ring quickly righting itself.

When pamphlets, 8210., are to be laid in numbers or bundles fortransportation or packing, the ring will be swung from the positionshown in Figs. 1, 4, and 5, so as to come in contact with the pamphlet,as shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 6, in which position the ring rests flatagainst one side of the pamphlet, and the loop is on the opposite sidethereof, the end a approximating the back of the pamphlet, so thatthethe loop. This materially increases the utility of this invention forthe purpose just indicated.

Moreover, the ring and loop fold within, or nearly Within, the confinesof the pamphlet, &c., whereby the latter may be nicely packed withoutmaterial projection of the rings or loops.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The ring A, formed with a loop, B, turned up from the body thereof, andhaving a lock ing end, a, bent as shown, all constructed and operatingas herein described, and forming an improvement in suspension-hooks, asstated.

ISAAC FINE.
